7/10
Excellent film noir-ish
23 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
First off - did anybody else notice the close resemblance of James Lanphier who played the Landlord and Ross Martin? When Lanphier walked into frame I thought for the longest time that HE was a probable suspect... (Do a Google image search for James Lanphier to see what I mean)

Anywhoo, a good solid, police procedural with a number of plot holes that didn't spoil the fun.

Lee Remick, was gorgeous and gave a convincing show of terror, Stefanie Powers when SHE was menaced in turn turned into a shivering wreck.

Glenn Ford was personable and believable as an FBI agent and from telling somebody he'd "never had to shoot anybody" managed to up his body count by the movie's end.

The final crowd scenes at Candelstick Park added tension but kinda telegraphed what the finale would be...
